“Those you love the most are not obligated to love you back – and often won’t.”

“No one will ever love you as much as you want them to.”

“Some people will tell you that they make, or have made, sacrifices for you, but don't buy it. The truth is simple: everything they ever did was for themselves, and what they did had little bearing on what was best for you. You were just along for the ride. You were just furniture, luggage, window dressing, dead weight to them. At least it's a good thing that you're hip to it now.”

“Good books should be an overwhelming assault upon the personality.”

“The best things in life are those that you’ll never speak of.”

“Enjoy the things that you know in your heart wont last.”
